Fayette County commissioners unanimously approved Thursday night the rezoning of about 122 acres in central Fayette County, paving the way for the new film and television studios being built by a group of private investors on behalf of the British film company Pinewood Studios.

Pinewood Studio officials expect to apply for permits to begin construction on five buildings at the campus in April.
